Abstract

AbstractIn this study, a one-dimensional fluid model is employed to analyze the electrical and physicochemical properties of dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) in pure CO₂ and CO₂/Ar mixtures at atmospheric pressure. Validation against experimental data confirms the accuracy of the model, especially for discharge current characteristics, with a peak current of 2.5 mA. Time-resolved analysis revealed that CO and O₂ represent the major species formed during CO₂ splitting, while O, O₃, and minor carbon-based species appear at lower concentrations. Charged species such as CO₂⁺ and CO₃⁻ were found to play a critical role in plasma kinetics, strongly correlating with current pulses during breakdown events. Parametric studies highlighted the influence of argon fraction, frequency, voltage, and pressure on discharge performance. Optimal CO production was obtained in CO₂/Ar mixtures with 75–90% Ar, at intermediate frequencies 3 kHz, moderate pressures 760 Torr, and applied voltages up to 9 kV. These findings provide valuable insights into plasma-assisted CO₂ conversion, emphasizing the importance of discharge conditions in enhancing efficiency and guiding the design of DBD reactors for sustainable carbon utilization.

Abstract

The paper presents a comprehensive numerical investigation of dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) operating in atmospheric pressure air (N₂–O₂–Ar) containing NO concentrations between 2.5% and 10% is presented for plasma assisted NOₓ mitigation. A one-dimensional fluid model is developed to describe the discharge dynamics and plasma chemical interactions under applied voltages of 8–12 kV and excitation frequencies of 2–4 kHz. The influence of voltage amplitude and frequency on electrical characteristics and NOₓ removal efficiency is systematically analyzed. A representative operating condition (10% NO, 10 kV, 3 kHz) is examined in detail to elucidate the temporal evolution of voltage and current and the spatial distributions of electrons, ions, excited species, and neutral particles involved in NO dissociation pathways. The results provide improved insight into the reaction kinetics governing NO degradation in air plasma and offer practical guidance for optimizing DBD-based environmental remediation systems.
